PG Carnivalesque" under The patronage of Prof. Krzysztof Wilde, rector of Gdańsk Tech, attracted several hundred people who listened to daring performances of popular pop music hits. During The performance we heard Choral arrangements of hits such as: "Dancing Queen", "Memory", "California Dreamin'" and "Maria". This time it was not Mozart or Bach, but ABBA, Queen and songs from The musical West Side Story that graced The walls of The Gdansk University of Technology in carnivalesque musical artistic creations. Jazz musicians performed along with The Choir, and The musical effects were accompanied by a unique lighting arrangement, which required appropriate space and audience arrangement. The more-than-hour-long performance by The Academic Choir of The Gdańsk University of Technology, conducted by Prof. Mariusz Mróz and accompanied by musicians from The Music Academy in Bydgoszcz, ended with joint singing, encores and a standing ovation.  less

The composer writes: "I wanted to make a piece about The creation story but I didn't want to highlight one religion's or culture's narrative over anoTher." "It was important for me to try to find something universal, something present in all stories, or common to all cultures. I hit upon The idea of making a kind of checklist of everything that needed to be created to get The world to this point, without each individual culture's stories or myths or exoticisms. I went back to The first chapter of Genesis, to see what I could get out of my own culture's story, and I stripped away all The descriptions, adjectives, connectors and motivators. All that is left of Genesis in my text are The nouns, leaving a dispassionate list of everything created, in The order in ...    less
